Some say it’s growing rapidly, while others believe the numbers are exaggerated. What’s the real deal, and how should this impact our investment portfolios?
India’s growth figures do seem impressive on the surface, but there are concerns about the accuracy of the data. Factors like inflation, job creation, and the informal sector are often underreported. I’d be cautious about investing heavily in Indian markets right now.
It’s important to note that while India’s economy shows strong potential, it’s also susceptible to global economic shifts. With rising interest rates and geopolitical tensions, any emerging market, including India, could face volatility. Diversifying your portfolio to include a mix of global assets might be a safer bet.
My portfolio has significant exposure to Indian stocks and funds. Given the current uncertainty, should I reconsider my strategy and maybe reduce my exposure?
The problem is that people don't have the knowledge needed to succeed in a challenging market. Only highly qualified professionals who had to experience the 2008 financial crisis could hope to earn a high salary in these challenging conditions.
India has so many opportunities to become a powerhouse but the ruling class just cannot bring itself to escape neoliberal - even colonial - thinking. Unfortunately India seems destined to remain enmeshed in the psychodramas imposed upon it by the Indian political economic elites, including needlessly negative relations with China and Pakistan.
India has always been in the camp of the very people who colonized them since the days of Gandhi(who didn't care for black people btw) their nothing more but sycophants for the US and western Europe. They love their colonial masters and wish they were white.
😂😂 India was a pure socialist country pre 1991 we were growing at 2.3%😂😂 after so called liberal reforms we are growing by average of 7%…..just Google it….Indians are coded by culture to grow (look at any country from African countries to America to UK) they are the richest because government won’t interfere…that is why Indian always fail in India…. ”India always growth in the night because socialist sleeps in night”
I’d also add that India seems very unserious about ending its own comprador capitalism. You can’t become a powerful economy if your purpose is just to serve western economies.
Since last year, Russia has stopped accepting Indian rupees for their oil and demanded India to pay in Chinese yuan as there's little use for those excess rupees
No they don't they recently bought weapon in indian rupees india bought oil from uae in rupees a new deal has been done with Nigeria for rupee trade France is accepting upi meanwhile Saudi has stopped yuan trade and brics refused idea of yuan as trade currency
The Russians are stacked with billions of rupees, and the Indians refused to convert to rmb for them, so they have no choice but to buy some Russian weapons but made in India. 😂😂
I see Chinese people online consistently saying that the Chinese government has a policy of under-promising so that it always exceeds expectations. It seems to have been working very well.
@@rsavage-r2v it wasn't under-promising. they only become themself. in china there was a probe. work in silence, let the result speak for you. that's why it's hard to know what they are doing. you only know after they get the outcome.
Ok. Chinese jobs are still dependent on exports. "Developing economy" narrative has its own advantage. It's like eating the cake and carrying it too. Indian market is increasing and the economy is inwards and it must grow.
I understand the need to scrutinize the economic numbers reported by Modi’s government for accountability, but I think it’s more important to focus on if the overall quality of living is improving or not for the majority of the Indian people. China’s growth numbers have always been questioned by people outside China, but things like living standards, literacy rate, life expectancy, birth survival rate, import/export, electricity generation, highway length, car ownership, high protein food production, etc cannot easily be faked. Modi is a Hindu nationalist who openly discriminate against non Hindus, and his anti China policies are extremely unpopular in the eyes of the Chinese. I would say without him India could have probably done even better. With China’s rise and America’s decline, the global south is enjoying an unprecedented friendly environment for economic growths. And Modi chose to antagonize China, to instigate border disputes, to keep the best economic partner it could ever have away. What a bad decision his government has made.
The whole Indian system needs to find enemies to hate in order to remain united. So they spend most of their time hating. When they are not hating China and Pakistan, Indian social media will pick on Nepal, Burma, Maldives, Sri Lanka, etc.
Name one policy of the Modi govt that is discriminatory to non hindus! Stop spouting BS! Needling neighbours and inciting disputes in the Chinese way. Don't project your own behaviour on others
in case you don't know India dependent a lot from Western donation (Foreign Aid). Basically The west send free money to India and in turn India agree to western stance like antagonizing China. This is the reason why the west were furious when India don't participate to Antagonize Russia.
I would say that being hostile to china may have gained additional western investment. However, too much hostility means wasting money on border defense and no infrastructure investment from china. But, it does help him win election, which is probably the most important thing.
India needs a societal revolution. Dividing the nation by social classes needs a revolution not just lip services that the bottom 40% are given a fair and equal opportunity and this only come about through a revolution!
I don’t have a single item in my house, car, or at work that is Made in India. What exactly does India produce for the world? I wish the best for India and the Indian ppl but the nation has a long way to go. Kind of sad for such an ancient and important historical civilization. Get it together India. Demand more from your government and elites!
You know what China produced. It produced almost everything that you consume.What did they get in return for all that massive effort. They got scraps of paper, called dollars, not backed by any asset like gold. This is called Fiat Currency, that is currency created out of thin air by Govt.order. And the US just printed dollars when it ran short, while China slogged. If China profited $4 trillion from 40 years of slave labour, America just printed trillions of dollars to distribute to its citizens during Covid and now owes the world $32 trillion. So, who is the sucker, bud?
India refines Russian Crude and sells it on open markets. The owners of Chevron, Exxon, or BP Stock, seem to be forced to honor contracts made in desperate times. As the G-7 Nations are faced with Asian Producers who can now bargain from a position of strength, as Members of a Trade Union, inflation figures increase. Profits that were easy to obtain, seem to be now requiring some effort to produce. This is not a pleasant status for any Capitalist. Romans were probably faced with similar emotions.
Might be that you do have some products partly made in India but reassembled in your country, making you believe you bought a local product 🙄 Depending on your location/country Indian products are not being sold there, might be because of “too cheap” and therefore “spoiling” the protected market for selling highly priced products made in Western (NATO) countries 🤷♀️ That’s the situation in Europe for example for some products but yes textile products made in India are widely available. Contrary in Mexico they are selling all kind of stuff made in India (especially on local markets): textile products (especially made of cotton), smaller motorcycles (the non luxury type Mexican people can afford) often sold by Mexican companies using Mexican names but produced in India (Bajaj, Tata, for example) and other products. These motorcycles and cars are not even available in some countries in Europe for example.
@@anneli1735 India is involved in niche manufacturing. Mass manufacturing for the globe( they have always exported a quantum of products to other developing countries, even in the 60s and 70s) is a work in progress.
They have a call center industry and organized criminal rings that scam Americans. They scam over 40 billion dollars every year from Americans through various schemes.
China's 5.2% growth in the first quarter of 2024 is $884,000,000 which is 1/3 of of the entire Indian economy. How the heck is India going to ever catch and surpass the economy of China?

I think the biggest issue with india is its lack of talent. I went to school with many Chinese and India international students, all of them are very bright. I would say a good majority of the Chinese international students ends up going back to China, even if it means taking a paycut, because there are still more opportunity in China for entrepreneurship than the US. On the other hand, I haven't met any Indian international student that choose to go back to India after graduation. This is something that's very strange to me. Indian has a greater population than China now, wouldn't these students want to go back? The opportunity could be endless. I would be very interested if any Indian want to comment on the reason. Also on the matter of Caste system and corruption.
but that's not what the hundreds of IT companies and many other companies are saying. India's strength has been the abundance of manpower. It could certainly improve the quality of that labour force. That is being worked at.
The data show, India economy is growing, but at India rate. The Indian and western media always compared it's rate of growth with china. Which is laughable.
@@SimonFranck100 IMF is independent organization. In that case nothing coming out of China should be trusted they steal and copy everything, they lie far more. All Chinese companies are based in western invention, electronics, automobiles, batteries, electricity, nothing. not a single new shit...lol

During the cultural revolution in China, the Chinese communists, in their zeal, destroyed statutes of buddhas, their old gods and effigies, burned religious writing, and old societal codes from thousands of years ago. A process that led to the loss of many priceless historic artifacts, destruction of sacred sites, and demolition of all that once was considered taboo, forbidden, and strictly not acceptable to society. What did they get in return? They got the destruction of the dogma that all these physical things represented. Their 'cultural revolution' produced a newer generation of Chinese that is not afraid to disobey old rules, as these rules are no longer beyond criticism and beyond destruction. The old Chinese had similar terrible systems like caste, or sexism, infanticide, etc etc, but these have been eradicated by the change in their culture. India never went through a revolution, and these old wounds continue to bear it down. Imagine if there is no hindu and muslim religious conflict, or the caste system, or the systemic rape issue, or the class oppression, India could have been the new China, as it gained its independence 2 years earlier.
Nice CCP propaganda. Most sensible Indians would say "Thanks but no thanks" India will progress peacefully and democratically. India has always valued the mind, you don't a violent revolution to value the mind.
@@varoonshekhar4023 Thats the thing, progressing peacefully and democratically, has been a failure. India gained its independence 2 years before China, without a violent revolution. Worse still for China, their world war 2 went from about 1931 to 1949, being 18 years of constant fighting, almost twice as long compared to India. India began its democratic roots with less war, better social and economic conditions, and went earlier in time, with comparable population and actually more productive land. It was also not subject to the embargo that was the signature of the cold war, where India was a part of the non-aligned movement and China was famously in the Soviet Camp and later had Sino-US detente, which is all to say, political troubles. Where are the two countries now? India is barely one fifth in terms of economy, no industrial capacity, heavy service sector manned by human resources, and no self sustainable military, which relied on arms from Russia, Israel and US. Where as China is already challenging the world superpower. Based on the social and economic factors at the beginning of independence, it should have been the other way around. There are many reasons why there is this discrepency, some are certainly economic and technological. But there is a important issue that is the trappings of the old society and class structure. Look at Modi and his ability to win votes on Hindu nationalism, which is divisive and perfectly copied from similar movements in the west (Trump, AFD party in Germany, etc), and look at the natural lack of natural class conscience that is similar to the rest of the west. If India want to progress with the same model like the west, then what makes you think India can do better than the west, who created and mastered this system? And if the West is losing its dominance to China, how in the world does India expect to not only do better than the west with its own system, but also outcompete China when the west couldn't do it?
@@the1onlynoob India has made lots of progress, and could have made more with better economic policies between the 1950s-1980s. India has not been a 'failure' . Democracy and pluralism has been a success in and of themselves. And India is not in a race with China or Mozambique, though it is mindful and wary of China's behaviour. You are obviously unaware of India's progress in a whole variety of areas, because you are too clouded by CCP brainwashing and propaganda. Name the area of activity, and India has made major progress. Whether it could have made more is the question, and the consensus is yes it could have. But not under regimentation, brainwashing, collectivism and military style iron discipline.
@@the1onlynoob And challenging the supposed dominance of the US/West, to do what exactly? Make the world a better, more free, more enlightened place, or just to impose yourself all over the place. That will be strongly resisted, if it happens.
India hasn't been a failure. It hasn't been a grand success either. But there has been lots of progress in all areas. Whether more could have been achieved with better policies is the question, and the consensus is yes it could have. But not through brainwashing, regimentation, military style iron discipline and collectivism.
Corruption is there in America also, look at the defense industry. Corruption is there in China and Europe also, there is hatred towards India, that is why everyone is filled with hatred as soon as the name of India is mentioned.

@@xiangzihua Such a curse. I'm glad China succeed so dude like Gordon Chang lose their credibility for the bs they spouse. Unluckily India is not beating Jaydant allegations 🤣.
There is a Chinese saying..."If you want to be wealthy, build road first". So whilst we should not denigrate India, perhaps it will be much wiser for India to build its domestic infrastructure first, that is convenient snd affordable for its people before going on about being a superpower which brings nothing to the table for India's citizenry. India should not have to follow any country...just follow the heart of its people if it wants to succeed. Forget about competing with China. Honestly i believe China don't care if they are not no.1 as long as its people lives a happy and prosperous life. 😂😂😂😂
India was created by british,so many parts and people not belonged to this so-called country before british arrival...After their independence from british,they didn't let those people or lands to freedom and kept her master british way of ruling this land...that's why this country has lots of problem forever!!!!Amitabha
That’s same as my conclusion. Organic nation creation is lasting & functional. Artificial nation creation, like India, has the issue of being either here nor there. The US loves India, because India isn’t going anywhere & isn’t even a player
Very true observation. This is the reason the government needs to feed its citizens "patriotism" in high dose! Most indians are proud of myths, wrong information or history! Just ask any such high-dosed indians, when in the history India had been a united country! And check the answers. It will be entertaining...
That funny thing is when Modi speaks, half of the citizens don‘t understand his language. Parlimantarian needs to use translators because they can not understand each other.😂 It should be split up according to their ethincity and language.
Let's be honest. India's so-called GDP growth is borrowing money from international institutions (including New Development Bank heavily funded by China for BRI), buy Chinese products in all their forms and shape, package them, put a "Make In India" stamp on it, and sell in Indian market. To give Modi credit, he also spends a lot of money of public work. All in all, India is EATING MORE and appears GROWING MORE. But nothing is changed fundamentally. All those foreign investments flooding the Indian Stock Market is for speculation. None of the money is for long term infrastructure and manufacturing ecosystem investment. It makes sense ... India is the graveyard of foreign investment. Any foreign factories in India will eventually get sold to local enterprises like Tata.
colonised minds take long to distil for ones own evidenced based history. to add, India being created under divide and rule with extreme poverty as a given future breeds a stagnant one dimension/individualist mentality....28:05, i hope india can do something useful and build infrastructure, improve access to education before crediting its borrowers and waisting this opportunity.
India is a independent country and able to make their decision not like Europe whose decisions are taken by USA 🤣 EUROPE is a pupppt of USA ONLY FRANCE IS A EXCEPTION 🤣 🙏
Taking into account India's ambition to take over the manufacturing title of China I think it would be wise to consider India's economy could be exaggerated. The objective of the Indian government is to entice foreign companies to invest and bring in their technology after which they will be happy if the foreign companies pull out leaving the infrastructure and technology behind. India has been known to be a death trap for foreign investors for years.
India, despite barely ever industrializing, has started to de-industrialize. Time recently published a piece titled "How India’s Economy Has Really Fared Under Modi". In it, they say: "Despite all of Modi’s drumbeating on boosting India’s manufacturing sector with his much-trumpeted “Make in India” campaign, manufacturing’s share of the GDP has fallen. Far from increasing manufacturing jobs, India is losing them in millions. The ranks of farmworkers, meanwhile, have risen by 60 million in the past four years. Agriculture now actually employs a greater share of workers than it did five years ago, a reversal that points to deindustrialization."
The increase of 60 million people working in the agricultural sector indicates growing poverty, forcing people to move to rural areas to sustain themselves. It also shows an increase in manual labor in agriculture due to the high cost of machinery, which has become too expensive for this sector. Most importantly, this highlights the prevalence of cheap labor.
Modi implemented some terrible policies like demonitisation. Because of demonitisation so many small scale industries are closed. Unemployment among youth heavily increased. Farmers were also treated brutally by the current government. Farmers suicide has become a common thing India. Government don't want to ensure minimum support price for many farm crops. I hope the current regime will change in the upcoming election.
India is impossible to industrialise simply because the educated, skilled, dedicated and disciplined workforce required is simply missing. And specially that discipline part nobody wants to do because next election is always around the corner.
even the most diehard Modi fans from the best universities want to leave the country and fly abroad at the next opportunity. and once they are abroad they support the h!ndutv@ agenda from there.
I have always admired the successes of American South Asian Indians. As an ethnic group they generate among the highest incomes in the US. Unfortunately, the system and culture in India does not necessarily foster the same degree of success with the exception of a tiny elite which exploits the many impoverished citizens. It would really be in India's interests if they could resolve their differences with China. If given the opportunity, the Chinese could be a huge source of investment and certainly a benefit to India by sharing experiences and practices which has made China so successful. America is always in the background always devising ways of thwarting any possible alliances that they see as threats to their hegemony.
As an Indian, some Indian men are so phenomenally rude the moment they shut the door, you will actually be shocked. Trust me, you have no idea. We just have the basic sense unlike most communities and keep our mouths shut in the open (other communities are direct and quarrel right there and then!). I've seen my dad be extremely kind, flattering and charming to people irl. Only for him to come home and say the most effed up stuff about them. Where I am left thinking, where th did that even come from?! Over the years, I'd realised he wasn't the lone exception as I had previously assumed.
India is the type of country that is always trying to undermine others. It's better that India joins NATO and Quad. They'll mess things up for everybody else inside.
India borrowed western democracy and liberal capitalism but didn't realize that what made these appear to work in the West is colonialism, which India doesn't do.
@@SanyamAgarwal94 Feel free to point out what substantial things he said. Edit: In all reality though, he gave extremely nuanced answers that covered an enormous amount of content. I feel that people are looking for simple and clear answers, rather than comprehensive answers that get into the less understood (but very important) details.
Oh no, India is, has always been( even more so presently) an issue based country when it comes to foreign policy. It does not mindlessly support another country's policies. On some things, India will see a convergence of interests between itself and the US-Europe-Japan, on others it won't agree, or it will be neutral or non-partisan.
India needs to attract a lot of fdi and build their manufacturing industry to provide jobs for the masses, from the lowest rank to the management level, make the economy into a surplus economy and invest in the education and infrastructure, if India do not have surplus economy, India will be doom because of its huge population without job, potential time bomb
India is a failed state Despite having the most populous population in the world, India does not create any jobs for the millions of young job seekers who enter the workforce every year. The South Asian country's working-age population stands at more than 900 million, according to 2021 data from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). According to the Indian government, this number is expected to reach more than 1 billion over the next decade. Everything becomes a burden if policy makers do not create enough jobs. Data shows that more and more Indians are not even looking for work, given the lack of opportunities and low wages. India's labor force participation rate, an estimate of the active workforce and people looking for work, stands at 46%, among the lowest in the world, according to 2021 data from the World Bank. For comparison, China and the United States (US) reached 68% and 61% respectively in the same year. For women, the numbers are even more concerning. India's female labor participation rate of just 19% in 2021 was the lowest in the world, down from about 26% in 2005, according to World Bank data. "India is sitting on a time bomb. There will be social unrest if it cannot create enough jobs in a relatively short time," said professor of organizational behavior at the Indian School of Business, Chandrasekhar Sripada, to CNN International, reported on Wednesday (18/1 /2023). The Center for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) noted that India's unemployment in December stood at 8.3%. This is far compared to countries like the US which recorded unemployment at 3.5%. Lack of high-quality education is one of the biggest reasons behind India's unemployment crisis. This is because Indian institutions emphasize 'rote learning' over 'creative thinking'. As a result of a combination of poor education and a lack of jobs, thousands of Indian college graduates, including those with doctorates, end up applying for menial jobs such as office boy, which pay less than US$ 300 (Rp. 4.5 million) per month. According to recent Indian government data, more than 90% of India's workforce is employed in the agricultural and informal sectors.

Ms. Desai, ,what happened to prof. Hudson… he left? it would be nice to hear his view and analysis on India’s economy and future.. and perhaps he sees some solution to India’s economic problems.
He knows nothing about India, and it's almost impossible to get accurate information about the country where all statistics are heavily manipulated. India has created an excellent Ponzi scheme that works well for the wealthiest, while the many who hope and are willing to postpone their current needs-primarily those under 40, who make up the majority-keep this bubble afloat. There's no real talk of India's development, and the Indian elite understand this, living comfortably off the backs of 1.5 billion people. We can only talk about economy and development when we no longer see people in India living in dirty water and cardboard boxes.
@@maxwolf8055 There was that report from the Economic Times a few years ago which said that the richest top 10% Indians owned half the assets of the country.

What is the trade surplus of India to achieve to 8% GDP Growth. With 24% illiteracy rate and 20% still living in poverty it seems extremely unlikely to claim those high rate of growth. Even the Indian currency is avoided by major int'l trading groups with nil drawing rights in the reserve currency.
I like Radhika's discussions. But it is obvious here on this issue, that she is personally invested on being apologetic and to put some gloss and paint over the daunting reality of her native country's conditions and future trajectory. Michael's analysis and insights as a neutral outsider/observer would have been much more useful and straight upfront in discussing the reality of India's situation. This can be gleamed by the question he asked the guest, Prof Chandrasekhar, on.
India’s economy seems paradoxical - and this ex excellent video goes a long way to explaining it. The anchoring of much of the economy on credit (Western model) does explain why there are no Indian goods to be found anywhere (either consumer or industrial). Also, rising inequality, also western style.
With 1.44 billion people, India can indeed become a great power. But first, India needs to revamp its basic industrial base for anything its needs. Second, India needs to abolish its terrible racist caste system and make everyone equal. Third, India needs to improve the literacy rate for its people. Fourth, India must improve its basic infrastructure if it wants more FDI's. Welcome to the club!
Not so sure one can always lead to the other. Does it mean my modest house becomes a mansion if I have 100 sofas in it? No it actually becomes a disaster as there are way too many sofas and it makes the house unlivable..
> India needs to abolish its terrible racist caste system and make everyone equal. you have shown you have zero idea about India and all you talk is nonsense.
Why have Michael on when you don't create the space for him to contribute Radhika? Is he the token white person you need to legitimise your talk among Westerners?
He didn't really answer Hudson's question. Someone in India is buying Russian oil at a discount & selling to European countries at a profit. Rupies accumulated by Russia are being invested into the Indian economy somewhere & some way. Who is mostly benefitting from this? How much money are we talking about? This has been going on for two years, so we are talking about a substantial amount of money.
Maybe some of the money is floating around in the dark within underground economy that is/cannot be tracked properly by the government? Perhaps for good reason because of fear of western sanctions?

What does that say about the monetary system? If you knew the proper definition, we could transition to capitalism.
Chandrasekhar is a huge fan of “services” and “remittances” but fails to address the lack of industrial development and poor standard of living that most of the country faces. He gets away with technicalities that allow him to avoid the long term/structural problems that India has no way to solve so long as it remains a glorified call center
@@paytonirby4904 Compared to manufacturing, services employ much fewer people. It does not scale. For a country like India, scaling is critical. Also, services do not require much infrastructure or enable/facilitate the development of it. This is the critical mistake India made: unlike China, it skipped a step in economic development -- it skipped manufacturing.
Core problem of India is its communication style especially in the media - always talks, exaggerates, fakes, superficial & with Mirchi/Masala. Everyone is aware of this particularly outside India, so no one believes or takes India/Indians seriously. First, India must build, deliver & then officially announce it has been achieved. Allow external non-indian experts to assess & confirm the facts/figures.
GDP PPP per capita in 2000 was 2 500. Now it's 7 500. Three times as high. Damn good and with steady pace. Look good to me and with BRICS++++++++ it will be even better.
China and India were top 2 economies of the world for most of the time of the recorded civilization history, but the world is very different today, the renaissance of old giants is not guaranteed, the rise of China has many important factors such as Confucianism culture, political system, population, family values, emphasizing education, etc. Indian and Chinese do share some characters but there are also many differences, and it is very unlikely that India will be willing to reform following the Chinese model.
India cannot achieve the same success as china because they are currently a neoliberal shithole. The only way they become a success story is by having a socialist revolution.

so many comments for a weird video where people are talking for hours but not answering a simple question.
Whole lot of people doing nothing, sounds like the US with all the good stuff removed Sounds like there’s no plan for correction, again like the US with all the factional pie in the sky ideas removed I’d still bet on India for the next couple decades
The International Monetary Fund (IMF)’s GDP database shows that the world GDP crossed over $100 trillion, in current US dollars, in 2022: it was for the first time ever.In 2019, a year before Covid-19 pandemic, global GDP was a little over $87 trillion, with the United States’s GDP amounting to $21.38 trillion, China’s amounting to $14.34 trillion, and India’s GDP amounting to $2.84 trillion. For 2022, three years after all the Covid-19 disruptions, the US GDP has grown to $25.46 trillion, China’s GDP to $18.1 trillion, and India’s GDP to $3.39 trillion. The US and China have added GDP of $4.08 trillion and $3.76 trillion respectively in these three years. At the same time, India could add only $0.55 trillion. Both the US and China have added more than India’s 2022-23 GDP ($3.39 trillion) during this period. Given this, are we ratcheting up our GDP growth to catch up with the US and China, India’s GDP gap with the US and China widening alarmingly.
Only way India can solve many of its problem is having manufacturing sector+ farm reforms which we missed in past. No other thing can help India Service sector cannot grow India
Manufacturing, services, whatever, India needs "something" that can provide employment for the mass, not just the educated IT professionals. I read something that's weird about Inida: umployment rate is inversely proportional to the amount of education received; ie very low unemployment for the illiterates, higher for those that went through primary schools, higher still for secondary school grads, yet higher again for those with university education. I'm not sure if this is a satire or what.
India growth data needs to taken with lots of salt, not just a few grains. If grow numbers don’t have evidence in Main Street the data is irrelevant. Even if India grow is true, India base is so slow, it can’t catch with anyone.
Modi has blithely taken India down the socially disastrous greed driven US neoliberal corporatist path. Pity the poor, suffering common people. Let's hope there is radical change of economic course before it's too late to fend off entrenchment of a fascist state.
Recently top economist of various top corporates reveal that indias economic growth figures in the past 4/5 years are mainly driven by Govt Capex and has not really trickle down to the mass population which was reflected in near-zero growth of consumption sector despite growth in population
How do you then explain so many vehicles on the roads( for better and for worse) hundreds of millions of cell phones, computers, growth of infrastructure.. this can't be happening if people aren't consuming. You are just looking for any tidbit to discredit Modi and the BJP, and get the left-commies into power.
[posting this for the second time because the comment i posted isn't showing up (YT, is that your doing?)] Yes, this happened during the thick of the pandemic. It was one of the strategies deployed by the government to fudge the number of deaths that resulted from COVID,
India is where China was in 1990s when every thing started. For sure investments are coming in. But there is no guarantee that India can replay what happened in China. We still have to wait and see. While Modi gov is pro business, there are too much legacy red tapes, plus political interest that could hamper the business atmosphere. Foreign investors, especially western ones, will learn that doing business in India is not easy. Meanwhile, the global economy has turned sour on free trade. Protectionism is on the rise, and India won't be able to count on following Asian tiger export oriented economic model to grow out of poverty.
That's all fine, but you do realise there are lots of Western and Japanese investors and companies, who are more or less pleased with their interests in India. Not all of them of course. But the number is huge.
How do you know they are not putting people first. US lapdog my foot. India and the US have many disagreements and differences. The UK is the US' lapdog.
Desai and Chandrasekher are typical colonised "Injuns" who cannot accept the fact that BHARAT, that was colonised India until 22 January 2024, is returning from centuries of invasions and colonial rule. And, of course, any credit must be due to the "superior" foreigners. Try reading the IMF data, if you can read, and then read the numbers for GST collection, if you can count. If you are still to be convinced, then see the roads, railways, metros, bridges and buildings, including the Ram Mandir, in the flesh. But nothing will stop the weeping of colonised "Injuns" as BHARAT marches to full development by 2047. JAI BHARAT JAI BIHAR!
If you’re so concerned about decolonization, why are you supporting a government that is acting as a Trojan horse within the BRICS, helping the West in antagonizing China, and in general undermining the collapse of Western hegemony? Modi is far more pro-Western than he should be.
Face the facts. India's rise is simply Modi's political talk. Fastest growing economy does not mean the economy is thriving. It just means you guys have been having a streak of average growth which make the number now looks good. You guys like to compare yourself with China but honestly India's economy are nowhere near and decades behind. When you look at the trends India needs to have a double digit growth just to keep up with the growth rates. At present growth trajectory India is in fact falling behind every year....Tell me, what are the your future industrial plans that can contribute to double digit growth? I tell you there is non. India is not a conducive place at all for manufacturing too.
nothing in the world is absolutely one or the other, of course indian economy is thriving, also of course there's exaggeration. but if modi were to lose, it'd be a disaster for the country.
Never trust ANYONE belting out data while sitting in front of a book shelf -- such as Radhika AND worse, sitting in front of a fake bookshelf -- such as Chandru's. Unless theres trust deficit in one's own knowledge, one may not impose such compulsive "educated" backdrops on viewers.
As usual Indi alliance intellectual condemning BJP government in a world platform. As per his suggestion all basic amenities like food, housing, toilets,electricity, gas, education are provided for free/discount for the poor. Can we hear from someone neutral or pro-government next time?
he said bjp buys off poor with non budgeted amenities. he talking about what is not being subsidised...no internal manufacturing or structures to create natural growth but bjp just pay dividend to short term capital project. it's evidence he's talking about. I care about India but modi has zero path and bjp is beholden...these are assertions which are an aside from the evidence in figures spoken here.
One of few clear mindsets who speaks root cause and truth behind the beautiful scenes. Unfortunately and not surprisingly modi regime will not listen 😂
Some say it’s growing rapidly, while others believe the numbers are exaggerated. What’s the real deal, and how should this impact our investment portfolios?
India’s growth figures do seem impressive on the surface, but there are concerns about the accuracy of the data. Factors like inflation, job creation, and the informal sector are often underreported. I’d be cautious about investing heavily in Indian markets right now.
It’s important to note that while India’s economy shows strong potential, it’s also susceptible to global economic shifts. With rising interest rates and geopolitical tensions, any emerging market, including India, could face volatility. Diversifying your portfolio to include a mix of global assets might be a safer bet.
My portfolio has significant exposure to Indian stocks and funds. Given the current uncertainty, should I reconsider my strategy and maybe reduce my exposure?
The problem is that people don't have the knowledge needed to succeed in a challenging market. Only highly qualified professionals who had to experience the 2008 financial crisis could hope to earn a high salary in these challenging conditions.
That’s a good point. How do you stay updated on these global trends and incorporate them into your investment strategy?
India has so many opportunities to become a powerhouse but the ruling class just cannot bring itself to escape neoliberal - even colonial - thinking. Unfortunately India seems destined to remain enmeshed in the psychodramas imposed upon it by the Indian political economic elites, including needlessly negative relations with China and Pakistan.
Sadly .
"nEeDLessLY NEgaTIve"
India has always been in the camp of the very people who colonized them since the days of Gandhi(who didn't care for black people btw) their nothing more but sycophants for the US and western Europe. They love their colonial masters and wish they were white.
😂😂 India was a pure socialist country pre 1991 we were growing at 2.3%😂😂 after so called liberal reforms we are growing by average of 7%…..just Google it….Indians are coded by culture to grow (look at any country from African countries to America to UK) they are the richest because government won’t interfere…that is why Indian always fail in India…. ”India always growth in the night because socialist sleeps in night”
I’d also add that India seems very unserious about ending its own comprador capitalism. You can’t become a powerful economy if your purpose is just to serve western economies.

Ok. Chinese jobs are still dependent on exports. "Developing economy" narrative has its own advantage. It's like eating the cake and carrying it too. Indian market is increasing and the economy is inwards and it must grow.
I understand the need to scrutinize the economic numbers reported by Modi’s government for accountability, but I think it’s more important to focus on if the overall quality of living is improving or not for the majority of the Indian people. China’s growth numbers have always been questioned by people outside China, but things like living standards, literacy rate, life expectancy, birth survival rate, import/export, electricity generation, highway length, car ownership, high protein food production, etc cannot easily be faked. Modi is a Hindu nationalist who openly discriminate against non Hindus, and his anti China policies are extremely unpopular in the eyes of the Chinese. I would say without him India could have probably done even better. With China’s rise and America’s decline, the global south is enjoying an unprecedented friendly environment for economic growths. And Modi chose to antagonize China, to instigate border disputes, to keep the best economic partner it could ever have away. What a bad decision his government has made.
any sources for how modi was the one who instigated border disputes
The whole Indian system needs to find enemies to hate in order to remain united. So they spend most of their time hating. When they are not hating China and Pakistan, Indian social media will pick on Nepal, Burma, Maldives, Sri Lanka, etc.
Name one policy of the Modi govt that is discriminatory to non hindus! Stop spouting BS! Needling neighbours and inciting disputes in the Chinese way. Don't project your own behaviour on others
in case you don't know India dependent a lot from Western donation (Foreign Aid). Basically The west send free money to India and in turn India agree to western stance like antagonizing China. This is the reason why the west were furious when India don't participate to Antagonize Russia.
I would say that being hostile to china may have gained additional western investment. However, too much hostility means wasting money on border defense and no infrastructure investment from china. But, it does help him win election, which is probably the most important thing.

You know what China produced. It produced almost everything that you consume.What did they get in return for all that massive effort. They got scraps of paper, called dollars, not backed by any asset like gold. This is called Fiat Currency, that is currency created out of thin air by Govt.order. And the US just printed dollars when it ran short, while China slogged. If China profited $4 trillion from 40 years of slave labour, America just printed trillions of dollars to distribute to its citizens during Covid and now owes the world $32 trillion. So, who is the sucker, bud?

Might be that you do have some products partly made in India but reassembled in your country, making you believe you bought a local product 🙄 Depending on your location/country Indian products are not being sold there, might be because of “too cheap” and therefore “spoiling” the protected market for selling highly priced products made in Western (NATO) countries 🤷♀️ That’s the situation in Europe for example for some products but yes textile products made in India are widely available. Contrary in Mexico they are selling all kind of stuff made in India (especially on local markets): textile products (especially made of cotton), smaller motorcycles (the non luxury type Mexican people can afford) often sold by Mexican companies using Mexican names but produced in India (Bajaj, Tata, for example) and other products. These motorcycles and cars are not even available in some countries in Europe for example.
@@anneli1735 India is involved in niche manufacturing. Mass manufacturing for the globe( they have always exported a quantum of products to other developing countries, even in the 60s and 70s) is a work in progress.

I think the biggest issue with india is its lack of talent. I went to school with many Chinese and India international students, all of them are very bright. I would say a good majority of the Chinese international students ends up going back to China, even if it means taking a paycut, because there are still more opportunity in China for entrepreneurship than the US. On the other hand, I haven't met any Indian international student that choose to go back to India after graduation. This is something that's very strange to me. Indian has a greater population than China now, wouldn't these students want to go back? The opportunity could be endless. I would be very interested if any Indian want to comment on the reason. Also on the matter of Caste system and corruption.
The lack of opportunities at the moment is a valid point, but things are getting better…
but that's not what the hundreds of IT companies and many other companies are saying. India's strength has been the abundance of manpower. It could certainly improve the quality of that labour force. That is being worked at.

During the cultural revolution in China, the Chinese communists, in their zeal, destroyed statutes of buddhas, their old gods and effigies, burned religious writing, and old societal codes from thousands of years ago. A process that led to the loss of many priceless historic artifacts, destruction of sacred sites, and demolition of all that once was considered taboo, forbidden, and strictly not acceptable to society.
What did they get in return? They got the destruction of the dogma that all these physical things represented. Their 'cultural revolution' produced a newer generation of Chinese that is not afraid to disobey old rules, as these rules are no longer beyond criticism and beyond destruction. The old Chinese had similar terrible systems like caste, or sexism, infanticide, etc etc, but these have been eradicated by the change in their culture.
India never went through a revolution, and these old wounds continue to bear it down. Imagine if there is no hindu and muslim religious conflict, or the caste system, or the systemic rape issue, or the class oppression, India could have been the new China, as it gained its independence 2 years earlier.
Nice CCP propaganda. Most sensible Indians would say "Thanks but no thanks" India will progress peacefully and democratically. India has always valued the mind, you don't a violent revolution to value the mind.
@@varoonshekhar4023
Thats the thing, progressing peacefully and democratically, has been a failure. India gained its independence 2 years before China, without a violent revolution. Worse still for China, their world war 2 went from about 1931 to 1949, being 18 years of constant fighting, almost twice as long compared to India.
India began its democratic roots with less war, better social and economic conditions, and went earlier in time, with comparable population and actually more productive land. It was also not subject to the embargo that was the signature of the cold war, where India was a part of the non-aligned movement and China was famously in the Soviet Camp and later had Sino-US detente, which is all to say, political troubles.
Where are the two countries now? India is barely one fifth in terms of economy, no industrial capacity, heavy service sector manned by human resources, and no self sustainable military, which relied on arms from Russia, Israel and US. Where as China is already challenging the world superpower. Based on the social and economic factors at the beginning of independence, it should have been the other way around.
There are many reasons why there is this discrepency, some are certainly economic and technological. But there is a important issue that is the trappings of the old society and class structure. Look at Modi and his ability to win votes on Hindu nationalism, which is divisive and perfectly copied from similar movements in the west (Trump, AFD party in Germany, etc), and look at the natural lack of natural class conscience that is similar to the rest of the west.
If India want to progress with the same model like the west, then what makes you think India can do better than the west, who created and mastered this system? And if the West is losing its dominance to China, how in the world does India expect to not only do better than the west with its own system, but also outcompete China when the west couldn't do it?
@@the1onlynoob India has made lots of progress, and could have made more with better economic policies between the 1950s-1980s. India has not been a 'failure' . Democracy and pluralism has been a success in and of themselves. And India is not in a race with China or Mozambique, though it is mindful and wary of China's behaviour. You are obviously unaware of India's progress in a whole variety of areas, because you are too clouded by CCP brainwashing and propaganda. Name the area of activity, and India has made major progress. Whether it could have made more is the question, and the consensus is yes it could have. But not under regimentation, brainwashing, collectivism and military style iron discipline.
@@the1onlynoob And challenging the supposed dominance of the US/West, to do what exactly? Make the world a better, more free, more enlightened place, or just to impose yourself all over the place. That will be strongly resisted, if it happens.

There is a Chinese saying..."If you want to be wealthy, build road first".

Let's be honest. India's so-called GDP growth is borrowing money from international institutions (including New Development Bank heavily funded by China for BRI), buy Chinese products in all their forms and shape, package them, put a "Make In India" stamp on it, and sell in Indian market.
To give Modi credit, he also spends a lot of money of public work.
All in all, India is EATING MORE and appears GROWING MORE. But nothing is changed fundamentally. All those foreign investments flooding the Indian Stock Market is for speculation. None of the money is for long term infrastructure and manufacturing ecosystem investment. It makes sense ... India is the graveyard of foreign investment.

India, despite barely ever industrializing, has started to de-industrialize.
Time recently published a piece titled "How India’s Economy Has Really Fared Under Modi".
In it, they say:
"Despite all of Modi’s drumbeating on boosting India’s manufacturing sector with his much-trumpeted “Make in India” campaign, manufacturing’s share of the GDP has fallen. Far from increasing manufacturing jobs, India is losing them in millions. The ranks of farmworkers, meanwhile, have risen by 60 million in the past four years. Agriculture now actually employs a greater share of workers than it did five years ago, a reversal that points to deindustrialization."
Moldy hyped negatively on China to his uneducated brainwashed fools...
The increase of 60 million people working in the agricultural sector indicates growing poverty, forcing people to move to rural areas to sustain themselves. It also shows an increase in manual labor in agriculture due to the high cost of machinery, which has become too expensive for this sector. Most importantly, this highlights the prevalence of cheap labor.
Modi implemented some terrible policies like demonitisation. Because of demonitisation so many small scale industries are closed. Unemployment among youth heavily increased. Farmers were also treated brutally by the current government. Farmers suicide has become a common thing India. Government don't want to ensure minimum support price for many farm crops. I hope the current regime will change in the upcoming election.
India is impossible to industrialise simply because the educated, skilled, dedicated and disciplined workforce required is simply missing. And specially that discipline part nobody wants to do because next election is always around the corner.
even the most diehard Modi fans from the best universities want to leave the country and fly abroad at the next opportunity. and once they are abroad they support the h!ndutv@ agenda from there.
Let's be real, India wants to be a power house in manufacturing, factories, phamatical, IT, dream on........
I have always admired the successes of American South Asian Indians. As an ethnic group they generate among the highest incomes in the US. Unfortunately, the system and culture in India does not necessarily foster the same degree of success with the exception of a tiny elite which exploits the many impoverished citizens. It would really be in India's interests if they could resolve their differences with China. If given the opportunity, the Chinese could be a huge source of investment and certainly a benefit to India by sharing experiences and practices which has made China so successful. America is always in the background always devising ways of thwarting any possible alliances that they see as threats to their hegemony.
There is no South Asia only indian subcontinent
As an Indian, some Indian men are so phenomenally rude the moment they shut the door, you will actually be shocked. Trust me, you have no idea. We just have the basic sense unlike most communities and keep our mouths shut in the open (other communities are direct and quarrel right there and then!).
I've seen my dad be extremely kind, flattering and charming to people irl. Only for him to come home and say the most effed up stuff about them.
Where I am left thinking, where th did that even come from?!
Over the years, I'd realised he wasn't the lone exception as I had previously assumed.
India is the type of country that is always trying to undermine others. It's better that India joins NATO and Quad. They'll mess things up for everybody else inside.
South Asia ?
You mean India
Pakistani Americans earn 1\2 of Indian Americans
India borrowed western democracy and liberal capitalism but didn't realize that what made these appear to work in the West is colonialism, which India doesn't do.
Chandrasekhar talked for an age and said nothing. That in itself sums up india. Nothing but alot of hot air with no substance.
He didn't answer Michael Hudson's question
He made a ton of sense actually if you listen carefully.

@@SanyamAgarwal94 Feel free to point out what substantial things he said.
Edit: In all reality though, he gave extremely nuanced answers that covered an enormous amount of content. I feel that people are looking for simple and clear answers, rather than comprehensive answers that get into the less understood (but very important) details.
@@SanyamAgarwal94that's because your Indian.

If India talks up its book, it is entirely to be expected. No problem.
Chandrasekhar is beating around the bush. Political corruption is killing India and Indians.
And now India is in dilemma of picking sides between Nato and BRICS..
Let it go to NATO. Global south has no need for it
Oh no, India is, has always been( even more so presently) an issue based country when it comes to foreign policy. It does not mindlessly support another country's policies. On some things, India will see a convergence of interests between itself and the US-Europe-Japan, on others it won't agree, or it will be neutral or non-partisan.
India needs to attract a lot of fdi and build their manufacturing industry to provide jobs for the masses, from the lowest rank to the management level, make the economy into a surplus economy and invest in the education and infrastructure, if India do not have surplus economy, India will be doom because of its huge population without job, potential time bomb
India is a failed state
Despite having the most populous population in the world, India does not create any jobs for the millions of young job seekers who enter the workforce every year.
The South Asian country's working-age population stands at more than 900 million, according to 2021 data from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). According to the Indian government, this number is expected to reach more than 1 billion over the next decade.
Everything becomes a burden if policy makers do not create enough jobs. Data shows that more and more Indians are not even looking for work, given the lack of opportunities and low wages.
India's labor force participation rate, an estimate of the active workforce and people looking for work, stands at 46%, among the lowest in the world, according to 2021 data from the World Bank. For comparison, China and the United States (US) reached 68% and 61% respectively in the same year.
For women, the numbers are even more concerning. India's female labor participation rate of just 19% in 2021 was the lowest in the world, down from about 26% in 2005, according to World Bank data.
"India is sitting on a time bomb. There will be social unrest if it cannot create enough jobs in a relatively short time," said professor of organizational behavior at the Indian School of Business, Chandrasekhar Sripada, to CNN International, reported on Wednesday (18/1 /2023).
The Center for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) noted that India's unemployment in December stood at 8.3%. This is far compared to countries like the US which recorded unemployment at 3.5%.
Lack of high-quality education is one of the biggest reasons behind India's unemployment crisis. This is because Indian institutions emphasize 'rote learning' over 'creative thinking'.
As a result of a combination of poor education and a lack of jobs, thousands of Indian college graduates, including those with doctorates, end up applying for menial jobs such as office boy, which pay less than US$ 300 (Rp. 4.5 million) per month.
According to recent Indian government data, more than 90% of India's workforce is employed in the agricultural and informal sectors.
Elon Musk postponed the unimportant and announced meeting (India) scheduled on 21-22 April 2024 and attended the important and unannounced meeting (China) on 28 April 2024 instead?

True. It's just a long list of grouses and negativity toward the BJP government.
Ms. Desai,
,what happened to prof. Hudson… he left? it would be nice to hear his view and analysis on India’s economy and future.. and perhaps he sees some solution to India’s economic problems.
He knows nothing about India, and it's almost impossible to get accurate information about the country where all statistics are heavily manipulated. India has created an excellent Ponzi scheme that works well for the wealthiest, while the many who hope and are willing to postpone their current needs-primarily those under 40, who make up the majority-keep this bubble afloat. There's no real talk of India's development, and the Indian elite understand this, living comfortably off the backs of 1.5 billion people. We can only talk about economy and development when we no longer see people in India living in dirty water and cardboard boxes.
@@maxwolf8055 There was that report from the Economic Times a few years ago which said that the richest top 10% Indians owned half the assets of the country.
@@Perceptionista I believe that it's no longer 10% of the population owning 50% of the national wealth, but rather 2%-3%. A lot has changed in the last couple of years. I think that if the Indian stock market crashes and the housing bubble bursts, the wealthy will become even richer by taking advantage of others.
@@maxwolf8055 Thank you for the info. That means the inequality gap has gone even worse. It's really funny how Modi and the BJP want to really copy/parrot the US model including what happened with assets bubbles and the crashes with such neoliberal policies. This on a country with huge social and economic, income equality is going to lead to massive political instability.
@@maxwolf8055 Are Chinese statistics manipulated? What does the World Bank, IMF and economic rating agencies say about India. Mostly favourable!

What is the trade surplus of India to achieve to 8% GDP Growth. With 24% illiteracy rate and 20% still living in poverty it seems extremely unlikely to claim those high rate of growth. Even the Indian currency is avoided by major int'l trading groups with nil drawing rights in the reserve currency.
Was hoping to hear more from Prof Hudson - he spoke for all of ONE minute during the entire broadcast ! Radhika hogged it.
I like Radhika's discussions. But it is obvious here on this issue, that she is personally invested on being apologetic and to put some gloss and paint over the daunting reality of her native country's conditions and future trajectory. Michael's analysis and insights as a neutral outsider/observer would have been much more useful and straight upfront in discussing the reality of India's situation. This can be gleamed by the question he asked the guest, Prof Chandrasekhar, on.
He's describing how capitalism works lol
Mr Hudson twice in 1 day! Always enjoy his analyses. Great show, Rhadika😊
If India holds accountable officials who speak big but cannot deliver, then India will develop.
No more hope as they are too corrupt and lack business acumen
India’s economy seems paradoxical - and this ex excellent video goes a long way to explaining it. The anchoring of much of the economy on credit (Western model) does explain why there are no Indian goods to be found anywhere (either consumer or industrial). Also, rising inequality, also western style.
When you spend too much time making podcasts, you will eventually believe in your own BS and then lose the desire to do real work!
@@user-ed9so2rb4k pointless and onanistic comment
That's so ignorant and false. No Indian goods anywhere, right.
Mainly raw materials. Generic pharmaceuticals, etc. That's why they earn less
With 1.44 billion people, India can indeed become a great power.
But first, India needs to revamp its basic industrial base for anything its needs.
Second, India needs to abolish its terrible racist caste system and make everyone equal.
Third, India needs to improve the literacy rate for its people.
Fourth, India must improve its basic infrastructure if it wants more FDI's.

That's false
Why have Michael on when you don't create the space for him to contribute Radhika? Is he the token white person you need to legitimise your talk among Westerners?
He asked one question and it wasn’t even answered.
He didn't really answer Hudson's question. Someone in India is buying Russian oil at a discount & selling to European countries at a profit. Rupies accumulated by Russia are being invested into the Indian economy somewhere & some way. Who is mostly benefitting from this? How much money are we talking about? This has been going on for two years, so we are talking about a substantial amount of money.
Maybe some of the money is floating around in the dark within underground economy that is/cannot be tracked properly by the government? Perhaps for good reason because of fear of western sanctions?
IKR? From the moment he started responding, I kept thinking 'he's not answering the question, answer Prof Hudson's question already.'

@@himanshurana19 so evidence, internationally recognised institutional studies, protests and evidenced outcomes are now called 'anti Indian', 'left wing' and 'spoofed up'?!!...people suffer and die needlessly even when the evidence is providing ideas of why and how to stop those poverty deaths. this is not a focus on personality debate because it's modi who has the purse no-one-else and it's his competition with his own statements which is the only necessary scope of conversation here because that is the reality, that it is only modi that can 'do a better job' or as is represented in this conversation 'meet his own targets'. so what has the past actions of failure to do if not give ideas of future path to success? someone once said something about insanity being the idea of repeating previous failures and expecting different outcomes. feelings are important yes, however people don't suffer poverty because of hurt feelings. modi and the bjp is failing many people and will continue to fail.
@@moviemakerjo6756 well, the elections will decide if it's bad as you say. Selective protests against BJP at convenient times while ignoring what other parties do makes it hard to not believe that it's anti-bjp.
@@himanshurana19 I refer to the three years of farming protests where up to 250 farmers per month committed suicide up to 2021 and Kashmir and women's rights all these protests, and more, during the long period of bjp and modi term. these protest were not election time they are the whole time of modi and bjp so yes there will be election.

You concern for India is touching.
I visited India in 1971 a few times and I saw a pretty poor country, with lots of beggars crowding around foreign tourists . My wife visited India in 2019 and from she told me, India was still a pretty poor country, with lots of beggars crowding around foreign tourists. Looks like not much improvements in 40+ years.
Good thing Michael Hudson was there

His presence at least kept this discussion from being too pro-India. 😄(or being somewhat apologetic to Modi and the BJP)
@@Perceptionista It was the Indian participants- Radhika and CP, who were critical of Modi, without any sense of balance.
This was such a realistic and sobering discussion! It's such a relief that we still have scope for such discussions in the midst of searing cries of religious fervor!
You said it yourself, “services“. Until common “services“ are taken from Paris sites, nothing will change. You cannot fix something that was built broken. The monetary system is outdated. We are capable of creating more than enough stuff, and food, for every woman and man on this planet. Technology will let less than 10% of the population maintain it all. What does that say about the monetary system? If you knew the proper definition, we could transition to capitalism.
Chandrasekhar is a huge fan of “services” and “remittances” but fails to address the lack of industrial development and poor standard of living that most of the country faces. He gets away with technicalities that allow him to avoid the long term/structural problems that India has no way to solve so long as it remains a glorified call center
@@paytonirby4904
Compared to manufacturing, services employ much fewer people. It does not scale. For a country like India, scaling is critical. Also, services do not require much infrastructure or enable/facilitate the development of it. This is the critical mistake India made: unlike China, it skipped a step in economic development -- it skipped manufacturing.
Average growth in manufacturing sector for past decades 2-3% versus overall gdp 6-7%,draw your conclusion.
Core problem of India is its communication style especially in the media - always talks, exaggerates, fakes, superficial & with Mirchi/Masala.
Everyone is aware of this particularly outside India, so no one believes or takes India/Indians seriously.
First, India must build, deliver & then officially announce it has been achieved. Allow external non-indian experts to assess & confirm the facts/figures.
Many of them have. Most of them take a balanced view of India. The odd one may glorify. But it's mostly favourable.
GDP PPP per capita in 2000 was 2 500. Now it's 7 500. Three times as high. Damn good and with steady pace. Look good to me and with BRICS++++++++ it will be even better.
China and India were top 2 economies of the world for most of the time of the recorded civilization history, but the world is very different today, the renaissance of old giants is not guaranteed, the rise of China has many important factors such as Confucianism culture, political system, population, family values, emphasizing education, etc. Indian and Chinese do share some characters but there are also many differences, and it is very unlikely that India will be willing to reform following the Chinese model.
India cannot achieve the same success as china because they are currently a neoliberal shithole. The only way they become a success story is by having a socialist revolution.
Morden day China and India have very little in common, apart from the population size.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF)’s GDP database shows that the world GDP crossed over $100 trillion, in current US dollars, in 2022: it was for the first time ever.In 2019, a year before Covid-19 pandemic, global GDP was a little over $87 trillion, with the United States’s GDP amounting to $21.38 trillion, China’s amounting to $14.34 trillion, and India’s GDP amounting to $2.84 trillion. For 2022, three years after all the Covid-19 disruptions, the US GDP has grown to $25.46 trillion, China’s GDP to $18.1 trillion, and India’s GDP to $3.39 trillion.
The US and China have added GDP of $4.08 trillion and $3.76 trillion respectively in these three years. At the same time, India could add only $0.55 trillion. Both the US and China have added more than India’s 2022-23 GDP ($3.39 trillion) during this period. Given this, are we ratcheting up our GDP growth to catch up with the US and China, India’s GDP gap with the US and China widening alarmingly.

The other is actually making items to sell

Only way India can solve many of its problem is having manufacturing sector+ farm reforms which we missed in past.
No other thing can help India
Service sector cannot grow India
Manufacturing, services, whatever, India needs "something" that can provide employment for the mass, not just the educated IT professionals. I read something that's weird about Inida: umployment rate is inversely proportional to the amount of education received; ie very low unemployment for the illiterates, higher for those that went through primary schools, higher still for secondary school grads, yet higher again for those with university education. I'm not sure if this is a satire or what.
India growth data needs to taken with lots of salt, not just a few grains. If grow numbers don’t have evidence in Main Street the data is irrelevant. Even if India grow is true, India base is so slow, it can’t catch with anyone.
That's stupid. Anyone?
Modi has blithely taken India down the socially disastrous greed driven US neoliberal corporatist path. Pity the poor, suffering common people. Let's hope there is radical change of economic course before it's too late to fend off entrenchment of a fascist state.
Recently top economist of various top corporates reveal that indias economic growth figures in the past 4/5 years are mainly driven by Govt Capex and has not really trickle down to the mass population which was reflected in near-zero growth of consumption sector despite growth in population
How do you then explain so many vehicles on the roads( for better and for worse) hundreds of millions of cell phones, computers, growth of infrastructure.. this can't be happening if people aren't consuming.

India is where China was in 1990s when every thing started. For sure investments are coming in. But there is no guarantee that India can replay what happened in China. We still have to wait and see. While Modi gov is pro business, there are too much legacy red tapes, plus political interest that could hamper the business atmosphere. Foreign investors, especially western ones, will learn that doing business in India is not easy. Meanwhile, the global economy has turned sour on free trade. Protectionism is on the rise, and India won't be able to count on following Asian tiger export oriented economic model to grow out of poverty.
GDP maybe. Otherwise China in the 1990s and India today have just 0 in common.
That's all fine, but you do realise there are lots of Western and Japanese investors and companies, who are more or less pleased with their interests in India. Not all of them of course. But the number is huge.

Desai and Chandrasekher are typical colonised "Injuns" who cannot accept the fact that BHARAT, that was colonised India until 22 January 2024, is returning from centuries of invasions and colonial rule. And, of course, any credit must be due to the "superior" foreigners. Try reading the IMF data, if you can read, and then read the numbers for GST collection, if you can count. If you are still to be convinced, then see the roads, railways, metros, bridges and buildings, including the Ram Mandir, in the flesh. But nothing will stop the weeping of colonised "Injuns" as BHARAT marches to full development by 2047. JAI BHARAT JAI BIHAR!
If you’re so concerned about decolonization, why are you supporting a government that is acting as a Trojan horse within the BRICS, helping the West in antagonizing China, and in general undermining the collapse of Western hegemony? Modi is far more pro-Western than he should be.
Infrastructure needs a lot of investment in India... besides private education and private healthcare should be banned...
Face the facts. India's rise is simply Modi's political talk. Fastest growing economy does not mean the economy is thriving. It just means you guys have been having a streak of average growth which make the number now looks good. You guys like to compare yourself with China but honestly India's economy are nowhere near and decades behind. When you look at the trends India needs to have a double digit growth just to keep up with the growth rates. At present growth trajectory India is in fact falling behind every year....Tell me, what are the your future industrial plans that can contribute to double digit growth? I tell you there is non. India is not a conducive place at all for manufacturing too.
Southern Indian are smarter and more civilised
They are more hard working too. But the ones in charge are from the North.
